Montgomery Ballet was founded in 1958 and formed a professional company in 1987. The school is directed by Danny Mitsios, who graduated magna cum laude from Jacksonville University with degrees in Dance and Computer Information Systems. He trained at Nutmeg Ballet Conservatory on scholarship and worked with choreographer Moses Pendleton of Momix.
The school offers classical ballet training for students starting at age 2.5, with classes ranging from Pre-Ballet (ages 3–6) through Ballet III/IV (ages 13+). Additional styles include jazz, modern, tap, and hip hop. Adult ballet classes are available at beginner and intermediate levels. Specialized classes include pointe work, variations, and pas de deux for advanced students. The curriculum also offers Long Body Yoga, Greek Dance, and Tai Chi. Class placement is based on age, physical ability, technical skill, and readiness.
Students have opportunities to observe, rehearse with, and perform alongside the professional company. The school operates a Dance Extension Program at Tuskegee Public School and offers classes at Evangel Christian Academy for enrolled students. Auditions are held annually for the summer intensive program and company positions.
